IMPORTANT Subreddit moderation changes
Hi everyone!
Since this community has grown quite a bit, we are now at about 20k weekly visitors, I've decided that it's time to update the moderation here accordingly.
I feel like the biggest issue this subreddit currently has are people accusing every second release of being a virus, people simply responding with "buy it" to any issue or request, and the huge amount of reposts/similar posts.
First, let's talk about the many "viruses": if someone says that an upload contains a virus, that comment or post will be automatically removed. While malware is very rare, it has happened before, so keeping the system just like that would leave plenty of room to exploit it, which is why only select users will be able to upload anything in the first place.
To upload, you must have at least 200 combined karma^? and your account must be older than thirty days. If your account doesn't meet that requirement you have the option to be manually approved. Users with the "Approved" or "Verified" flair are exempt from the aforementioned rule. If you see someone with either flair the upload is likely trustworthy, especially if they have the "Verified" flair. However, everyone will still be able to link to anything on Reddit and Suprbay.
Secondly, we have added u/JharenoNL to our mod team, with his support we will enforce our rules on reposts and "buy it" comments, but also on hatespeech and trolling.
To elaborate, that does NOT mean that you should never say that a developer deserves to be supported, we will absolutely continue to allow those comments, but in many cases they are unhelpful at best.
We will also add a FAQ in the (hopefully) near future, in the meantime please use the search feature before asking anything.
These changes are not all final and may be changed in the coming days. Please let me know if you have any concerns, complaints, or simply ideas to do things differently. All changes are effective immediately.
Thank you for your attention!
